E. Concept:

Parallelism, also known parallel structures, can add fluidity and power to your writing. This involves
presenting your thoughts in an orderly manner so that your reader can easily follow your thoughts. It
uses the same pattern of words to show that two or more ideas have the same level of importance.
This can happen at the word and phrase level.
Use parallelism in single words and phrases, such as:
1. Verb or Verb Phrases - (e.g. My sister walks and runs in the Plaza.)
(Romeo cooked the foods, washed the plates and watered the plants.)
2. Adjective - (e.g. Mark is an industrious and helpful boy.)
3. Adverb or Adverbial Phrases - (e.g. Rose dances gracefully and happily.)
(The groups meets at night and on weekends.)
4. Gerund or Gerund Phrases (-ing form of the verb)
(e.g. Maria loves dancing, swimming and singing.)
(Joshua enjoys playing volleyball, singing love songs and baking cakes.)
5. Infinitive or Infinitive Phrases (e.g. Jason likes to read and to write.)
(Dave loves to watch TV, to listen radio and to play computer games.)
